"White Squall" is a 1996 movie directed by Ridley Scott, starring Jeff Bridges and John Savage. The film co-starred Scott Wolf and Ryan Phillippe.

The plot is based on the fate of the schooner "Albatross", which sank on 2 May, 1961, allegedly because of a white squall. The film relates the ill fated summer school sailing trip led by Dr. Christopher B. Sheldon (Jeff Bridges), whom the boys call "Skipper". In the film four people aboard the ship perish, whereas in reality six people died in the incident.

Dr. Sheldon created the sailor's creed, "Where we go one, we go all!" which epitomizes the bond of all sailors as well as people of the world, "We're all in the same boat!"
